ABSTRACT

I said earlier that I was more interested in a mediocre thing that is being made now, which is avant-garde, than I am in the performance of a great masterpiece of the past.

The business of the great things from the past is a question of preservation and the use of things that have been preserved. I don’t quarrel with that activity, and I know that it will continue. But there is another activity, one to which I am devoted, and it is the bringing of new things into being.
